LOCAL MINISTRY METHODS

As we take timeless truths from Scripture and begin to faithfully restate them as a theological vision for life, ministry, and mission for this particular moment in history, our theological confession and theological vision express themselves in certain local ministries and methods in our local Sojourn Network churches.
